o o 0 O TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, November 20, 1957 The Family Council Editor's note: The Frol! Council consists of a Jnds. m psychiatrist, iree clergymen, a newspaper editor a women's vlitor and two writers Each article is a summary of an actual report. The family Conned does not five advice: it merely reports on problems that av been dealt with by rponsiDia agencies and counselors Janet A. My husband's ies come first. Mri. N. R. That's just an evasion of her responsibility, Janet A. I am in my mid-20's and I have been married a little over a year. Now I am facing an awful problem and I don't know just what to do. My mother died when I was 4 years old and my father remar ried and moved to another state shortly afterwards. My grand mother brought me up. She was very good to me in her own -way, but she is a peculiar, unfriendly woman and my husband doesn't like her very much. She is now in poor health and aunts tell me it is my place to take her in, since she did so much for me. My husband says If she comes, he goes. I don't think he would really do it, but his wishes should come first. My aunts screamed at me when I told them that. Mrs. N. R. My sister. and I just broke down and cried when e realized how ungrateful Jan et is. Her father was ready to put her in an orphange until our mother stepped in and said she would take her. She stood by Janet through thick and thin ami cared for her as only a mother can. Now this little up start says her husband comes Shirt Elegance Th4 Home Is For Living MOT Laundering!

She is not exactly at tractive, but we managed to find a young man for her. We had to practically lasso him to get him to meet her. Janet's silly excuse about her husband is just an evasion of her rightful responsibility. How selfish can you get? The Council: How selfish can you get indeed? Mrs. N. R. and her sister have evidently excused themselves from all responsibility toward their mother, who probably also cared for them as "only a mother can." Just why is Janet more ungrateful than they are? It appears to us that Mrs. N. R. and her sister are trying to use Janet as a family scape goat and are trying to cover up their selfishness with a brazen attack on the young woman. Certainly, Janet owes her grandmother a good deal, but she should point out to her aunts that she is not alone in this debt. She should not permit herself to be browbeaten bv these ag gressive older women, but should ask them to show good cause why they cannot care for their aged mother. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp) Residents Warned Of Carbon Monoxide Portland W The state board of health warned today that carelessness and improper functioning of heating fixtures could result in carbon monoxide poisoning similar to that which claimed the lives of four Ore gon residents in the past few days. Dr. Harold M. Erickson, state health officer, said most carbon monoxide deaths occur at night during cold weather when peo ple close their homes or automo biles tightly to prevent drafts. Because carbon monoxide is odorless and non-irritating, Dr. Erickson said victims can be overcome before they realize anything is wrong. He said sym toms include headache, wearin ess, and dizziness followed by nausea, vomiting, and in some cases, death. Erickson stresses proper venti lation in homes and urged mo torists to never operate an auto without having a window partly open. Ike Spends Most oi Day Just Relaxing Augusta, Ga.

IPC, in turn, would release the stored water and transmit Snake river power to Bonneville in the winter when demand is high.
